Well Wishes From Jean Chalmers

I just read the good news.  Yipeee!!!!  I’m so glad Hugh was gone this evening so that no one but the Lord could see me whooping and dancing around from sheer joy at that beautiful word REMISSION.  I just told a friend who is going through some things about the book and encouraged her to get it.  I will call her and tell her the good news too.  Her kids went to MV and she also worked with me at the dental office for a while so she kind of knows Irene (our little rock star!!).  I will continue to pray as you face the kidney crisis.  God is Faithful.

Much love,

Jean

Remission!

Remission!

REMISSION!!!!!!!

Dr. Lloyd Damon (above) had GREAT news today, reporting that the Primary Amyloidosis in Irene’s bloodstream is in remission!!  Yay ….!!!!  And you can see Irene’s very stoic about it …. Hah..!!!

Here’s the rest of the story ….

With the amyloid in remission we can now entertain a conversation about the potential of a kidney transplant.  Because dialysis treatment is still necessary at this time, the vein mapping was completed today and the various options related to that conversation will continue in the near future with Dr. Kumar, Irene’s nephrologist.  UCSF will also be intimately involved in this conversation.

Irene’s chronic nausea is related to the dialysis treatment (renal failure) and the other medications she continues to take …. i.e. blood pressure medication, etc, (9 in all), which ALL report that nausea is a side effect.

Irene will return to UCSF for another outpatient consultation with Dr. Damon on June 26, 2008.

We fortuitously ran into Dr. Russ Cucina on the sidewalk in front of UCSF today!!  Dr. Russ Cucina was one of our most ardent encouragers early on in the process.  Dr. Cucina was one of the attending physicians overseeing much of the process during the most treacherous days.  His many expressions of personal concern for Irene and his deliberate, strategic decisions helped lead the UCSF medical team through some very rough and challenging days ….

We also visited with Nurse’s Cathy Newman & Joe Mcgee of the UCSF Rapid Response Team.  Joe attended Irene when she was in ICU during some very arduous days and nights ….

We ran into 11 Long UCSF Nurse Melissa Rex who also attended Irene during the stem cell transplant hospitalization.

Here’s the rest of the story …. Today, when Irene and I were first entering 11 Long (Oncology Ward) where she was treated for the stem cell transplant, this was the first time that Irene had been back.  As she exited the elevator and began walking down the corridor, she literally lost her breath, emotions gripping her, and she physically retreated momentarily, weakened by the flood of stirring memories.

We greeted the

Well Wishes From Martha Silva

Dear Dave & Irene,

I read the attached prophetic word today and instantly knew I had to forward it to you. Please know I read your updates daily and pray often for you. I am expecting a miracle for you Irene.

All my love in Christ,

Martha Silva

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

For so long, we have received prophecy after prophecy concerning the intention of the LORD to increase HIS Presence on the earth. And yet, more prophecies have been posted, relating that we are about to Finally see a hugely significant manifestation of the healing of people’s bodies—including CANCER healings.

I’m here to tell you it has begun. And not only healings, but SPIRITUAL and EMOTIONAL healings. Even FINANCIAL healings. The “suddenlies of God” are upon us.

We have come through a very intense time period in the Body. Never before have I seen so many believers hurting—both physically and spiritually. But these times of crisis are being suddenly followed up with the Father’s “TIMES OF REFRESHING FROM THE LORD.”

We are now coming into times of REFRESHING. Not all warfare will stop of course, and some of you are just now experiencing some of that warfare. But all of it, be it refreshing or renewed warfare for many of us, it all is UNTO SOMETHING. It’s UNTO GREAT TIMES OF YET MORE REFRESHING.

The Lord gave me a picture concerning most MOVIES that are produced and most stories ever told. And that is this—in almost every story that is well told, just prior to a great breakthrough and resolution of UNSOLVABLE problems—we see that often-expected “darkest before dawn” circumstance come our way.

So is it DARK where you live, either literally or spiritually? Do you no longer feel qualified to minister because you are dry and not very spiritual? The answer is that every Christian must go through days like this. This means:

To the Christian, that means Dawn is close at hand, even at the door.

To Cancer, that means your days are numbered.

To Hopelessness, that means HOPE is on the way. Hold on.

To the downcast or to the brokenhearted, that means, “Lift up your head, because
